Pearce will start in left field and bat sixth in the order Sunday against the Rays, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's the third start in four games for Pearce, with two of those starts coming against right-handed pitching. For the time being, it appears Pearce may have supplanted Ezequiel Carrera as the primary option in left field, but the situation figures to remain fairly fluid. Pearce is still slashing just .176/.222/.176 on the season, so he'll probably need to put together several quality at-bats in a row before those in deeper mixed leagues can feel comfortable grabbing him off the waiver wire.
